On Feeling Melancholy

Ran across a short video on youtube and wondered what others would think of it:

Melancholy is one of the four temperaments . I wondered what other Jedi might relate to most. Of course, there are always those vague tests you can take for these types of things, but I think one might know just by reading about them.

I don't think that melancholy as a temper contradicts with joy or Jedi way. The thing is to be a healthy melancholic. Like a good bluesman who sees both tragic and comic moments in life, just prefers to reflect on the former.

And as a feeling, melancholy is in between light sadness and mild depression. Personally, I prefer light sadness. But until sadness does not deprive a person from joy, it's healthy.
